Australian price and specification comparison using dated catalogue observations, labelled range estimates and state-specific device checks. Confirm current seller prices, stock and delivery.
Choose the Kaabo Mantis 10 Plus V2 for its larger battery, longer planning range and 10 inch tyres. Choose the VSETT 9 APEX for its removable 48 V 19.2 Ah LG battery platform. Compare the dated exact-offer prices below; advertised capped settings do not independently verify the delivered unit or public-riding eligibility.
Dated catalogue prices: VSETT 9 APEX $2,294; Kaabo Mantis 10 Plus V2 $1,999. Confirm current seller offers, stock and delivery before buying.
Vsett's 30 kg dual motor APEX with hydraulic disc brakes and pneumatic tyres. The seller lists 25 km/h capped or 44 km/h uncapped for private use; that is not independent verification of delivered capability or public-riding eligibility.
Kaabo's dual motor performance commuter, default-limited to 25 km/h with a private property unlock to 60 km/h.
Speed uses the Australian supplied configuration where verified; overseas modes are not implied. Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

VSETT 9 APEX: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Kaabo Mantis 10 Plus V2: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
ScootFinder estimates 53 km for the Kaabo and 45 km for the VSETT. Riding style can reduce either result.
Neither. Both are listed at 30 kg.
Check each exact Australian unit against the device, rider and route rules in your state. An advertised 25 km/h setting alone does not verify eligibility.
ScootFinder has not physically road-tested these two units for this comparison. Published specifications come from the sources below. Real-world range figures are clearly labelled ScootFinder estimates and prices or availability should be confirmed before purchase.
